WHS Winterfest

Woodinville High School will celebrate its annual Winterfest from Dec. 13-17.

Events include a blood drive at the school on Dec. 14. On Dec. 14 and 15, there will be a blanket and warm clothing drive at the Woodinville QFC. Students will spend the night outside the store, keeping warm only with the donations they receive from the community, which will go to the Salvation Army for distribution.

"Adopt-a-Family" will be a week-long event. This year, 17 families have been adopted, and groups and classes at the school will make sure their holiday season is special with gifts, clothing, and food.
